OpenGL

ALSO CALLED:
Open Graphics Library,
Open Graphics LanguageDEFINITION: OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is the computer industry's standard application program interface ( API ) for defining 2-D and 3-D graphic images. Prior to OpenGL, any company developing a graphical application typically had to rewrite the graphics part of it for each operating system platform and had to be cognizant of the graphics hardware as well. With OpenGL, an application can create the same effects

OPENGL DEFINITION (continued): in any operating system using any OpenGL-adhering graphics adapter.OpenGL specifies a set of "commands" or immediately executed functions. Each command directs a drawing action or causes special effects. A list of these commands can be created for repetitive effects. OpenGL is independent of the windowing characteristics of each operating system, but provides special "glue" routines for each operating system that enable OpenGL to work in that system's windowing environment. OpenGL comes with a large number of built-in capabilities requestable through the API. These include hidden surface removal, OpenGL definition sponsored by WhatIs.com, powered by WhatIs.com an online computer dictionary
